Col. William Jones was the son of William Jones, Sr. The former was born in 1799 and died in 1822 and buried there in the family graveyard. His brother James Jones, (not the name- sake of the county) born 1774-1828 is also buried there. Col. Wm. Jones, Jr., had a son Wiley Jones whose daughter was Valeria Jones who married Henry G. Lamar. These Jones' were relatives of the Davis family who owned joining lands.
Col. Wm. Jones wielded a strong influence on the newly form- ed county of Jones, when there was no money to operate on, little law or order and the settlers had not really "settled". Found in some very old minutes in the first book of that period, I quote : "Georgia : Agreeable to an Act of the General Assembly passed at Milledgeville the 10th of December, 1807. the Honorable Justices of the Inferior Court for the County of Jones met to select a Grand Jury and Petit Jury for said county on the 18th of February, 1808. Present their Honors: William Binion, William Jones, Hugh M. Comer - - - Esquires.
The court proceeded to the drawing of the Grand Jury and Petit Jury for the Superior court to be held in the said County on the first Monday in April, 1808. The following were drawn to serve as Grand Jurors.

JOHN LAMAR
John Lamar Esq., a Revolutionary Soldier died in Jones County. The following record of Mr. Lamar has been preserved in Historical Collections of Ga. Says the author: "As a soldier of the Revolution he was not only brave to a fault, but his ser- vices were of long duration and his sufferings excessive. Very shortly after entering the army he was deputed with others to the performance of a perilous duty, in which he was deserted by

his companions and left to execute the order alone, which he did to the admiration and astonishment of all. For this act, a com- mission was offered him in the regular army. However, he mod- estly declined, on the grounds that he was too young and in- experienced to assume such responsibilities as he was only seven- teen. He served under Gen. Marion and Pickens, attached gen- erally to the battalions of the latter.
He was in the battle of Eutaw and Cowpens and at the seige of Augusta and in several other engagements : he was once taken prisoner, but made his escape from the Camp of Lord Corn- wallis, rescuing at the same time one of his cousins. He was twice wounded during the war by the British and once by the Indians after moving to Jones County."
John Lamar married a cousin of Jefferson Davis. Chief Justice Osburn O. Lochrane married a daughter of Judge Lamar's. Henry Graybill Lamar was a son of John Lamar.
HENRY GRAYBILL LAMAR
Old records of Jones County show that many Lamars lived here and among them we find the names, James, Jeremiah, John, Zachariah, Henry and many others.
Henry G. Lamar, was a lawyer, a noted ante-bellum Congress- man and jurist and a native of Jones County. He was a candidate for Governor in 1857 at which time a deadlock in the convention resulted in the choice of Joseph E. Brown. Gov. Brown after- ward appointed him to the Supreme Court Bench. Henry Lamar was a member of Congress from 1829 to 1833. His father was John Lamar, a Revolutionary Soldier. He moved over to Macon in 1824 and was Rep. from Bibb Co. in 1828. He died in Macon in 1861. He married Valeria B. Jones who was the daughter of Wiley Jones and the granddaughter of William Jones, in whose home the first courts of Jones County were held. Henry G. La- mar and Valeria Jones Lamar's son, Walter D. Lamar married Dorothy Blount, daughter of James Blount, who was also born in Jones County.

gan his ten-year apprenticeship with Samuel Griswold who was manufacturing gins at Clinton. In 1838 Orren mar. Mrs. Martha D. Phillips Wimberly, a widow with two children, Mary E. and Lewis Wimberly. Their ch. were five sons: William Abram, Benjamin Irwin, Milton Madison, Charles Henry and James Butler Massey. The last two died young. In 1841 Massey es- tablished his own busines at Clinton, 'repairing gins and manu- facturing gins of a superior quality'.
He located in 1846 three miles from Macon on the Gordon road, and founded a Methodist church at Masseyville, the site of the Massey Gin and Machine Works. William and Benja- min E. lost their lives in the Civil War in 12th Ga. Reg. The place of the foundry, a tannery, gin works and repair shops were all burned by Federal forces in 1864. Orren Massey mar. Eliza- beth Gantt of Clinton in 1867, and rebuilt the works. Their chil. were: Louis James, Orren Webb, Jr., Lucius Henry and Walter Mattauer Massey.
The Massey Gin and Machine Works, Inc., has been in this family for 104 years, with four generations carrying on the tra- dition of hard work, loyalty, honesty and tenacity on which the business was founded.
CHARLES J. MCDONALD
Gov. Charles J. McDonald was born in Charleston, S. C. on July 9, 1793 and came to Hancock Co., Ga. at twenty years of age. He was elected Judge of the Flint Circuit. He had received his education through the kindness of Farish Carter who had married his sister Eliza in 1811. McDonald married a sister of Farish Carter, who was a grandchild of Col. Benjamin Cleve- land and Mary Graves.
At thirty Charles McDonald was made a Brigadier General of the State Militia. He was elected Governor of Georgia in 1839-1843. He was Judge on the Supreme Bench from 1855-59. While he was Governor he recommended the creation of a Su- preme Court in 1841, and it was organized in 1845. Charles J. McDonald was a classmate of Jesse Bunkley's from Clinton at Franklin College, Athens, Ga. He was listed in Baldwin County Tax Digest in 1818 and on the Jones County Digest in 1819 as owning lands on Walnut Creek, through 1821. When the Clinton
416
HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY
Academy was chartered in 1821, Charles J. McDonald, James Smith, Samuel Lowther, Henry G. Lamar and Gustaves Hen- dricks were made trustees.
McDonald made a good governor during his tenure of office. Georgia needed a strong hand at that time, to restore the credit of the State. I quote two outstanding remarks that he made, "I have never bargained for any office, and if I do not receive it without conditions, I will never receive it." The second quote, "The first thing to be regarded in a Republic is the virtue of the people; the second their intelligence. Both are essential to the maintenence of our institutions ; the first inspires them with a dis- position to do right, the second arms them with power to resist wrong." There were troubles with Indians on the Florida bord- er, and also the difficulties, financially of constructing the West- ern and Atlantic railroad, both of which he handled to his credit and that of the State.
Charles J. Macdonald built and lived in a white house situ- ated on a rise back of the Lowther Place in Clinton. This prop- erty was later bought by Mrs. S. Pursley and then by Alfred George and this land is still known as the George Place. Mc- Donald moved to Macon probably about 1823, as he is listed as a Commissioner of Bibb Co. and later a Sol. Gen. of the Superior Court there. He lived on Walnut Street in the old Lightfoot House. He died in Marietta, Ga. Dec. 16, 1860. Sherman's troops burned this home in 1864 and later Gov. Joseph M. Brown built his home on the same spot.
He married Anne Franklin, daughter of Dr. Franklin of Ma- con in 1819, had four children, he married second in 1839 Mrs. Ruffin of Va., they had no children.
WILLIAM J. NORTHERN
Peter Northern was of Scotch descent. The son of William and Margaret Northern of North Carolina was born on April 7, 1794. They moved to Georgia and settled near Powelton and later moved to Jones County where William J. Northern was born. When Peter died he left funds and directions that his son have all of the educational advantages possible. William loved books and he secured a good education, graduating from Mercer University, 1853 at 18 yrs., he taught with Dr. Carlisle Beeman
417
HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY
in the Mt. Zion Academy in Hancock Co. and later became the head of this school and made it famous. In 1861 he enlisted with the south in the Civil War. In 1874 he sought health on the farm, became a planter and legislator and represented the con- servative element in Georgia politics. He married Miss Louisa Davis of Jones Co. in 1817 and they both were baptized by Rev. Talbot at the Flat Shoals church in Jones Co .. where he became a deacon. In 1840 he left Jones Co., to take charge of Stewart's Hall at Mercer Institute. For many years he was Treasurer of the Ga. Baptist Convention. He represented Jones County in the Legislature several terms. He gave three acres of land to Salem church in Jones Co. (He lived in southeastern Jones Co.)
He was a Capt. at 69 years of age in the Confederate Army. He at one time conducted a school for boys at Kirkwood near Atlanta, and many Jones Co. boys attended this school. Richard Henry Bonner, son of Capt. R. W. Bonner was a student there. This school was noted for its courses in mathematics and civil engineering.
There was a hot campaign for governor between Northern and Livingston which threatened to split the Ga. Alliance, so it was agreed that Livingstone would run for Congress and North- ern for Governor. John Temple Graves on Aug. 7, 1890 pre- sented Northern's name for Gov. and he was nominated by ac- clamation and inaugurated on Nov. 8, 1890, serving two, two- year terms. Clark Howell from Fulton was Speaker of the House and Robt. Mitchell, Pres. of the Senate. Pres. of the United States, Benjamin Harrison, visited the Capitol and was the guest of Gov. Northern. The Gov. appointed Allen D. Cand- ler (later made Gov.) Sec. of State.
Gov. William Northern was born July 9th, 1835 in Southeast- ern Jones County and died at 78 years in Greene Co. Ga. He was one of Georgia's foremost governors. He is the author of a book (in two volumes) called, "Men of Mark." He is listed as a member of the Flat Shoals Baptist Church which was located near Commissioner's Creek.
As Gov. he was noted for securing better school facilities and while he was in office the Normal School at Athens and

G. N. I. C. at Milledgeville and the Negro school in Savannah were opened. He married second Mattie M. Neel, Dec. 19, 1860 and had a son and a daughter.
DANIEL PRATT Architect and Industrial Builder
Daniel Pratt arrived in Savannah on Nov. 23, 1819 in the brig "Favorite", under Capt. Hart from Boston: he went to Milledgeville, the capitol in 1821; bought the homeplace of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Gordon near Fortville in 1825, married Miss Esther Ticknor, aunt of the poet Francis Orray Ticknor in Clin- ton in 1827. He built a house in Clinton for Mr. and Mrs. Sam- uel Lowther in 1822, a house near Haddock for John W. Gor- don, 1824-25-28, and Westover near Milledgeville for Benja- min Jordan around 1830, and a house at Fortville for Wm. Moughon. The latter houses have spiral stairways, while the Lowther house had an elliptical stair. The Masonic lodge in Milledgeville has been ascribed to him as the plans were drawn before he left Jones Co. in 1823-33. There are other homes thought to be designed by him. He was a partner in the gin works with Samuel Griswold for several years, at Clinton.
In 1833 Daniel Pratt moved to Alabama. In 1838 he purchas- ed the land on which Prattsville, Ala. was built. Here he built gin shops which he replaced in 1840-41. The new shops which were additions to the old ones were built in 1898-99. His home de- signed and built by him in 1842 was almost a replica of the house he built in Jones Co. near Haddock for Gen. Gordon. He de- signed the handsome iron fence around the house also. He built his first cotton mill in 1845 which was partly destroyed by a flood in 1886, but rebuilt in 1887. a new part was added in 1899. His desecndants are partners or co-owners of the Continental Gin Co. and the Pratts are largely responsible for the develop- ment of coal an iron industries in and around Birmingham, Ala.
There is in existence a set of India Ink drawings with an es- timate of the cost for the capitol of Alabama, by Daniel Pratt. He did not build the Capitol but did submit drawings and esti- mates.
Dec. 21, 1846, the Honorary Degree of Master in the Me- chanical and Useful Arts was conferred upon Daniel Pratt by
419
HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY
the University of Alabama. Daniel Pratt died in 1873, May 13. Born July 20, 1799, in Temple, N. H.
These Pratts are listed in Jones Co. records: 1820-John Pratt, Thos. A. Pratt, Hillery Pratt, Daniel Pratt.
PEYTON T. PITTS By S. H. Griswold-1908
Peyton T. Pitts was called both Judge and Captain, for he was a Judge of the Inferior Court and was also a Captain in the Jones County Volunteers in the Civil War. He was a large- framed man with a commanding appearance, had a genial dispo- sition and was well liked by all. He was a natural sportsman and loved his rod, gun and dogs. He was a Christian gentleman and a pillar in the Methodist church. He was a Whig in Poli- tics and represented the county in the legislature and was one of the County's delegates to the Secession Convention in Milledge- ville.
He lived on the Garrison Road halfway between Macon and Milledgeville on what is now known as the Bat Peterson Place. He had a large two story white house with a long veranda across the front. In the rear he had a pigeon house and many pigeons which he fed early in the mornings from a basket full of grain. His place was a village within itself as he had the slaves quarters, wagonshops, cotton gin and grain houses and cribs for corn. Every house was painted white and situated in a large oak grove, a typical plantation of that time. Peyton Pitts mar- ried first the daughter of Major John R. Moore a leading citizen in the county. She did not live long and in a year he married her sister, who also died in a few years, then he married Mary Bu- ford Hill, a niece of Dr. and Mrs. Thos Bowen of Clinton. She survived him by several years and died at Clinton in 1905. Mary and Peyton had two sons, Peyton, Jr., and Abb. He had had a daughter by one of the Moore girls who married Henry Gibson. Peyton Pitts built a nice Methodist church at the Crossroads and it was called "Pitts Chapel", (see picture). He was the main supporter of this church and he also built the Negroes a church and helped to support this.
He went on hunting trips with F. S. Johnson, Sr., and son Sam, Ben Finney, Giles Griswold, T. S. Pitts, Jr., and Tom

HISTORY OF JONES COUNTY
Bivins. They would go on deer hunts and camp out down in Tel- fair and Irwin counties. They took fishing trips to Buckhead and the Ogeechee river. He was the most hospitable man you ever saw. His wife was a splendid housekeeper, cook, and could man- age the plantation in his absence. Peyton Pitts had a fair knowl- edge of medicine and was often called on for help when anyone in the community was ill, as the only doctor was fifteen miles away by horseback. One night a farmer boy came for him to see his wife, and Pitts delivered a fine baby. He had never done this before and felt uneasy about it, but before he could undress to go to bed he heard horse hoofs pounding and the farmer very ex- cited said that he believed his wife was dying. Pitts went racing back to their cabin as frightened as the farmer was. He tried to remember everything that the doctor book said, and when he got there he was just in time to deliver the second child, and he was so relieved to know that he had not done something wrong with the first one. He rode back two or more miles to his home and again he heard the horse and the poor farmer was hardly co- herent he was so excited, so Pitts went back with him, both run- ning their horses as fast as they could go. He felt like something terrible had had happened that time sure, but he delivered a third child and after waiting awhile to see if there was a fourth he went home wiser and determined not to be called on for any obstetrical case again. Strange to say this was the first and also the last time Peyton Pitts delivered a baby. However, the trip- lets lived and he would always point to them with great pride.
After the war, he struggled with free labor and lost most of his wealth, so he sold his place to Jernigan Wood and built a smaller house in James and lived there until his death in the early 1900's.
(Jones Co. News-S. H. Griswold-1908) BENJAMIN REYNOLDS
Benjamin Reynolds was a veteran of the Revolution. White says in his Historical Collections : "He was a native of Caroline Co., Va. As the Revolutionary War started he was too young to enter service, but as soon as his age would permit, he took up arms against the foe. After the war was over he moved to South Carolina, settling in a neighborhood, whose residents were loyal

to the British Crown. Benjamin Reynolds was so zealous in his devotion to the cause of liberty that he encountered the most violent persecution from his misguided neighbors. After the op- ening of Jones County, he was one of the first settlers to come." Here he found that his neighbors felt as he did, and many Revo- lution soldiers here made him feel at home at once. These early settlers so zealous in their devotion to liberty found no Tories here. Reynolds lived to be seventy three years old and here he rested in the land of the freedom for which he had fought.
ROLAND T. ROSS
Roland T. Ross was born in the northeast corner of Jones County near the Putnam county line. At an early age Roland came to Clinton and was employed by Charles M. McCarthy, Clerk of Superior court. For several years he was assistant clerk for McCarthy until he died. Ross was elected to be Clerk of the court and Ordinary about 1860-1861. He wrote a smooth clear hand, and made a good officer, holding the office his lifetime except for one year. Thomas Gibson a gallant soldier, and of re- markable ability was elected but left Georgia before his term ex- pired, then Ross was put back in. James H. Blount and Isaac Hardeman were leading attorneys and supported Ross in this office. James M. Gray, leading citizen was a staunch supporter of Ross.
Roland Ross was not only a splendid clerk and Ordinary, but during reconstruction, he, Blount, Gray, Hardeman and a few others out-maneuvered the Yankees in putting the blacks into office. On court weeks, Ross threw open his home to friends who traveled long distances to get there. He had written and handled so many legal papers, that he wrote many wills, executed many legal documents for people, never charging them for this service.
If a man wanted to run for an office, he sought the support of Ross first, because of his popularity and influence. For a long time, Ordinarys had great powers, having charge of all county affairs such as come under county commissioners now, so this office was extremely important. Ross was Captain of a company in the state militia at the close of the Civil War. He was a mem- ber of the Methodist church in Clinton, and one of its main sup- porters. He held the Ordinary's office until his death.

It was Ross who suggested naming Gray for James M. Gray, and so it was named. Ross has descendents in the county, who should be proud of his long and honorable record.
Roland Ross' father came from North Carolina and settled in the northeastern part of Jones County. Roland Ross married Fannie E. Morgan from Connecticutt. His children were: Jim, Bessie and Bartlett Ross. Jim m. Kate Barron and their ch. are: Elizabeth, Roland, James, Juanita and Ben. Bartlett Ross never married. Elizabeth m. Jim Sherrod, Juanita m.

Blount, who always assisted him runs like a thread of gold through many lives that bless our country. They both joined the Baptist Church and he was ordained a minister of the gospel in 1835 that he might preach to destitute churches, which he did gratuitously throughout his long life. He taught successfully in Clinton at The Clinton Female Seminary, Penfield, Macon and Columbus, Ga. He took thirty of his students at Clinton over to Macon, forming the nucleus of the Wesleyan Female College, in the organization of which he assisted, and was chosen first professor of natural sciences. (This was the first college to give a diploma to females). In 1842, Thomas B. Slade moved to Columbus, Ga., where for thirty years, he was principal of a Female Institute of the highest grade and prosperity, although he was never known to ask for a pupil or to reject one because she was unable to pay. His wife was an active and efficient co- worker, the perfect union of strength and gentleness of charact- er, making her presence a blessing and an example to all who knew her. A fitting climax to their long wedded life of usefulness and happiness was the celebration of their Golden Wedding in 1874, besides guests there were forty children and grandchild- ren. He died in Columbus, Ga., Feb. 12, 1891.
"Two lives beautifully blended, as the rays of the setting sun, lighting and purpling the crystal clouds, until sun and clouds are mingled in one mass of crimson beauty."
